Learning Corner: I Love Singapore

Sharing our learning corner for this Term with the theme 

"I Love Singapore!" 

I added some decorations such as 

red and white buntings and tiny flags as well.

Shadow matching activity for the tourist attractions.

Puzzles for food and delicacies!

And different traditional games such as "kuti-kuti", snap, 

pick-up sticks, and etc. which I just bought for less than 2 dollars each. <3

Laundromat Dramatic Corner

I transformed our dramatic corner into a Laundromat 

where they can pretend to wash, iron, fold and even hang clothes.

Upon entering, I prepared a log book for them to write their names.

(This also helps me to know who plays in this area when "Keeping Time" is on. Haha) 

This is our Laundry Area. 

I recycled two big boxes to create a washing machine and dryer. I also took empty bottles of liquid detergent, fabric conditioner, cereal/chips boxes which I covered with coloured paper and printed detergent logos such as Ariel and Tide.

Since I don't have any ironing board in class, I made one by cutting boxes (3 layers) and sewed an old cloth to cover it.

Ta-dah! Ironing station!

Children will also have a chance to learn how to fold their own clothes in our Folding Station.

Last but not the least, we have our clothesline area where children can also develop their fine motor skills with a simple pincer grasp activity using clothespins.

EXPECTATION

REALITY! 😂

Vet Clinic Dramatic Centre

Pretend Play teaches children the importance of empathy 

which helps develop moral skills and socio-emotional roles in life.

This term, I created Vet Clinic for our dramatic corner. 

In front desk, we have a Cash Register Toy, 

old keyboard from the office, and an old

Telephone from a good friend. 

Our Examination Room have 

Thermometers, Tongue Depressors, Syringes, Cotton,

X-Ray Machine (which the kids used to draw bones), 

Stethoscope, otoscope, and other tools

I also painted two empty grocery boxes to create

 a pretend clinic bed for the pets.

Cat Food, Dog Food, Fish Flakes, Vegetables, and Treats 

were made of recycled boxes.

We also have our Pet Pharmacy.

Medicines are made of recycled 

plastic containers and papers as well.
